gcc failure when attempting setup.py build_ext on Red Hat EL 7.4 (quantamath.cc)

[ajstewart]

I'm attempting to get casacore and python-cascore setup on a RHEL 7.4 machine. Casacore seems to build ok which I install in my directory.

When I came to install python-casacore in a new conda2 environment I get the following error. I'm trying to build it from source because of the different casacore location as I had to do similar to what was said in Issue #118.

Below my error message is also the system admin attempt who got it to build with the mentioned patch. In the same bit of code in quantamath.cc they also thought that the i<20 should be i<N.

gcc version is 4.8.5, sys admin also attempted 7.x with no success.

Please let me know if you need any more information.

I've seen the same issue (and have the same fix) on CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)

I also noted it yesterday and am working on a fix. Ger
